Working with Files in the File View

When you work with files in the File view of the Workspace window, you do not have the option of using AcuBench's code-generating tools, but you can perform typical File menu functions like opening, closing, saving, and deleting files. In addition, you can compile source files (in the project's File view Source folder) and execute object files (in the project's File view Object folder)

Opening a File

To open any file associated with an AcuBench project, go to the File tab of the Workspace window and right-click the file you want to open, then select Open.

Saving a File

To save the contents of the file that has focus, select Save filename from the File drop-down menu. Filename is the name of the file that has current focus. To give another open file focus, either click the window containing the file or select the file from the Window drop-down menu.

To save the file to another name, select Save As from the File drop-down menu and specify a name. If no file extension is specified, the first extension listed in the Save as type field is appended automatically.

Closing a File

To close the file that has current focus, select Close from the File drop-down menu or click the Close icon button located at the far right of the main menu bar.

Deleting a File

To remove a file from a project, right-click the file and select Delete filename from the pop-up menu (filename is the name of the selected file). Although the file no longer appears in any Workspace Window view, it is not removed from its location on disk.

To remove a file from the project and delete it from disk, right-click the file and select Delete From Disk from the pop-up menu. The file is moved to the Windows Recycle Bin.
